Chapter 13- Unbelievable News

'Are you sure you want to know?' Alyssa' voice was shaky

'Yes I'm sure.' Hermione looked eager.

'Don't freak out okay!' Alyssa said.

'Okay.' She nodded.

'Remus Lupin!' she said it really fast.

Hermione and Harry simultaneously gasped.

'THE Remus Lupin?' Hermione asked.

'Umm, yes.' Alyssa said relieved that Hermione hadn't run screaming out of the library.

'Mum you dated Remus Lupin. I'm his daughter?' She said.

'Yes I dated him and yes you are his daughter. Why are you so interested?' Alyssa answered.

'Just because.' She said.

'Umm I got to go Hermione. Bye Alyssa.' Harry said and rushed out of the library.

'What's wrong with him?' Alyssa asked.

'Umm nothing. It could be something about Remus. You know his dad was a best friend with him.' Hermione said.

'Oh, Okay Wow! Look at the time. I must go but I will see you soon. I love you.' Alyssa smiled and hugged Hermione.

'Love you too mum.' Hermione smiled.

'I have to go downstairs I'll walk with you.'

'Okay.' Alyssa put her arm around Hermione waist and they went downstairs.

~At dinner~

'Hey Herm is Remus really your dad?' Harry asked.

'It seems so Harry. Did you write to him?'

'Yep, But I won't get an answer for awhile.'

'Why?' Hermione asked.

'What day is it?' Harry asked.

'Oh shit. Do you think mum knows about him?' Hermione asked.

'I don't think so.' Harry said.

'Well he should write in a couple of days. So tell me when you get it.' Hermione whispered.

Ron walked into the hall at that moment and sat beside Hermione.

'So have fun with Alyssa today?' he asked.

'Yep, I found out that my grand parents are total dick wads that put me up for adoption and that my mum was disowned.' Hermione said pleasantly.

He started to eat his chicken. He noticed that Harry's plate was empty and Hermione was nibbling on a piece of lettuce.

'What's wrong?' he asked.

'Nothings wrong.' Hermione said.

'Don't give me that bullshit. I know you both better then that! \Now what the hells wrong?' Ron yelled.

'Watch your language Mr. Weasley!' Snape's greasy voice came from behind him.

'Sorry Professor.' Ron said sheepishly.

They watched as he glided out of the hall.

3 days later

'Her Herm, I got it.' Harry whispered.

'What to see?' he asked.

'Yes Shove over.' She said.

He slid over on the overstuffed couch in the common room.

'Okay, Open it!' she said.

Dear Harry,

How did you find out about my child? Do you know who she is? Harry this is special to me please return Hedwig with a letter as soon as possible. Grandma Black's been screaming for Snuffles. Maybe you should do something about it. Write soon.

Remus

P.S. Please give the extra envelope to Alyssa.

Harry sighed and passed the envelope to Hermione.

'Here.'

'Thanks What are you going to do about Grandma Black?' she asked.

'Umm don't know. But I have a thought. I'm going to the library.' He said.

'Okay.' She giggled.

~In the library~

Harry pulled out a book. He blew off the dust and opened it.

'Okay here it is.' He whispered.

He pulled out an envelope and placed it onto the table.

Harry pulled out his wand.

'Grandma Black! Sirius is DEAD! He's not coming back. I know it's hard but you have to get over it! He's not coming back. If I'm told that you are annoying people again I'm going to burn you off the wall. Understand? Good!' Harry spoke harshly. He pointed his wand towards the envelope and said the magic words.

'Howlerisia.'

The envelope became dark red.

Harry picked it up and addressed it. He trod up to the owlery and called Hedwig from her perch. He sat and pulled out his quill and a piece of parchment.

Dear Remus,

Your daughter's name is Hermione she attends Hogwarts and yes you know her.

Harry.

'Here Hedwig, take these to Remus.' He said as he tied the letters to Hedwig's leg. He watched as his owl headed towards London.

~In the common Room~

'So you sent him a letter?' Hermione asked.

'Yep.' Harry said simply.

'So what do you think about Ebony and Dean?' she asked.

'Better than Malfoy. That curse… how long does it last?' he asked curiously.

'Well it's a funny curse it lasts as long as I stay mad at him. It also depends on the emotion the caster is in when it's caste it could be 8-10 weeks or more.' Hermione said.

'Really wow!' Harry laughed. HE was starting to pity Malfoy but then thought better of it.

'Well he shouldn't done anything.' She said.

'Done what?' Ginny said.

'Ginny! You're supposed to be in bed!' Harry said.

'Harry I'm fine it's only the mornings. I hate it, Hermione never gets morning sickness and I'm confined to my dorm room.' She complained.

Harry smiled and pulled her into his lap.

'Don't worry Gin I'm sure I'll get morning sickness soon. Wow, you're starting to show.' Hermione said.

'I know. I'm going to have to wear cloaks as big as Crabbe and Goyle's.' She laughed.

'So what were you talking about?' Ginny asked.

'Nothing.' Harry said quickly.

'Don't lie to me. Tell me Harry. NOW!' she said.

'We were talking about my parents.' Hermione said.

'See that wasn't hard! Was it?' Ginny smiled.

'No!' Harry said.

She giggled as Ron Ebony and Dean came through the portrait hole.

'Hey Gin, where have you been?' Ron asked.

'Confined to my room Stupid morning sickness.' She complained.

'Hey goes with the territory Gin. Hermione I'm moving out from our dorm the minute you get morning sickness.' Ron joked.

'I'm just joking Herm.' He said when he saw his girlfriends' face. She punched his arm lightly. The rest of the night the 6 friends played Exploding Snap.
